Abstract

Zur Herabsetzung der Empfindlichkeit eines ein frequenz­ moduliertes Signal bereitstellenden Fühlelementes (30) ohne Eingriff in den eigentlichen Sensor (32) wird vorge­ schlagen, die Ausgangsimpulse des Fühlelementes (30) mit Impulsen konstanter Frequenz zu "verdünnen". Bei einer Fühleinheit, die nach Erhalt eines Startimpulses jeweils einen oder mehrere Meßimpulse bereitstellt, wird dies da­ durch bewerkstelligt, daß man einen Teil der Impuls-Periode durch eine Zeitstufe (44) vorgibt, die in Abhängigkeit von einem frequenzkonstanten Hilfsoszillator (46) arbeitet. Deren Ausgangssignal schaltet eine Torschaltung (36) durch, die zwischen das Fühlelement (30) und einen nachfolgenden Frequenzteiler (38 bis 42) eingefügt ist, welcher den Meß­ impuls bereitstellt. To reduce the sensitivity of a frequency modulated signal providing sensing element (30) without intervention in the actual sensor (32) is pre beat, the output pulses of the sensing element (30) "Dilute" pulses of constant frequency. At a Sensing unit, each after receiving a start impulse provides one or more measuring pulses, this is because by accomplishing that part of the pulse period by a time step (44) which depends on a frequency constant auxiliary oscillator (46) works. A gate circuit (36) switches its output signal through between the sensing element (30) and a subsequent one Frequency divider (38 to 42) is inserted, which the measuring provides impulse.
